[PATCH v10 0/2] can: esd: add support for esd GmbH PCIe/402 CAN interface

From: Stefan Mätje
Date: Mon Nov 20 2023 - 12:57:09 EST


The purpose of this patch is to introduce a new CAN driver to support
the esd GmbH 402 family of CAN interface boards. The hardware design
is based on a CAN controller implemented in a FPGA attached to a
PCIe link.

More information on these boards can be found following the links
included in the commit message.

This patch supports all boards but will operate the CAN-FD capable
boards only in Classic-CAN mode. The CAN-FD support will be added
when the initial patch has stabilized.

The patch is reuses the previous work of my former colleague:

The patch is based on the linux-can-next main branch.

Changed in v10:
Most changes due to feedback by Vincent Mailhol
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/CAMZ6RqLOAC930GNOU+pWuoi6FgYwFOuFrSyAzVjvE2fuVgy8oA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
- Add support for ethtool operations by using default operations
provided by the can_dev module for drivers with hardware time
stamp support.
- Factor out core unregistration into pci402_unregister_core().
- Factor out getting next TX fifo index into acc_tx_fifo_next().
- Stop counting alloc_can_err_skb() failures in rx_dropped statistic.
- Add CAN_ERR_CNT flag in CAN error frames as needed.
- Rework function acc_reset_fpga(). To clear I^2C bus enable bit
is not necessary after FPGA reset.
- Simplify struct acc_bmmsg_rxtxdone layout.
- Additional non functional changes due to feedback by Vincent
- Some spelling corrections: ESDACC -> esdACC

Changes in v9:
- Fix returning success error code in case of allocation failure in
pci402_probe().

Changes in v8:
- Rebased to 6.6-rc2 on linux-can-next branch main

Changes in v7:
- Numerous changes. Find the quoted with inline comments about changes
below after the changes list. Stuff that I don't understand and
where I have questions is marked with ????.
Unfortunately I will be AFK till 28th of November.

Changes in v6:
- Fixed the statistic handling of RX overrun errors and increase
net_device_stats::rx_errors instead of net_device_stats::rx_dropped.
- Added a patch to not increase rx statistics when generating a CAN
rx error message frame as suggested on the linux-can list.
- Added a patch to not not increase rx_bytes statistics for RTR frames
as suggested on the linux-can list.

The last two patches change the statistics handling from the previous
style used in other drivers to the newly suggested one.

Changes in v5:
- Added the initialization for netdev::dev_port as it is implemented
for another CAN driver. See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20211026180553.1953189-1-mailhol.vincent@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes in v4:
- Fixed the build failure on ARCH=arm64 that was found by the Intel
kernel test robot. See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/202109120608.7ZbQXkRh-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

Removed error monitoring code that used GCC's built-in compiler
functions for atomic access (__sync_* functions). GCC versions
after 9 (tested with "gcc-10 (Ubuntu 10.3.0-1ubuntu1~20.04)")
don't implement the intrinsic atomic as in-line code but call
"__aarch64_ldadd4_acq_rel" on arm64. This GCC support function
is not exported by the kernel and therefore the module build
post-processing fails.

Removed that code because the error monitoring never showed a
problem during the development this year.


Changes in v3:
- Rework the bus-off restart logic in acc_set_mode() and
handle_core_msg_errstatechange() to call netif_wake_queue() from the
error active event.
- Changed pci402_init_card() to allocate a variable sized array of
struct acc_core using devm_kcalloc() instead of using a fixed size
array in struct pci402_card.
- Changed handle_core_msg_txabort() to release aborted TX frames in
TX FIFO order.
- Fixed the acc_close() function to abort all pending TX request in
esdACC controller.
- Fixed counting of transmit aborts in handle_core_msg_txabort().
It is now done like in can_flush_echo_skb().
- Fixed handle_core_msg_buserr() to create error frames including the
CAN RX and TX error counters that were missing.
- Fixed acc_set_bittiming() neither to touch LOM mode setting of
esdACC controller nor to enter or leave RESET mode.
The esdACC controller is going active on the CAN bus in acc_open()
and is going inactive (RESET mode) again in acc_close().
- Rely on the automatic release of memory fetched by devm_kzalloc().
But still use devm_irq_free() explicitely to make sure that the
interrupt handler is disconnected at that point.
This avoids a possible crash in non-MSI mode due to the IRQ
triggered by another device on the same PCI IRQ line.
- Changed to use DMA map API instead of pci_*_consistent compatibility
wrappers.
- Fixed stale email references and updated copyright information.
- Removed any traces of future CAN-FD support.


Changes in v2:
- Avoid warning triggered by -Wshift-count-overflow on architectures
with 32-bit dma_addr_t.
- Fixed Makefile not to build the kernel module always. Doing this
renamed esd402_pci.c to esd_402_pci-core.c as recommended by Marc.
